Children dealing with neuroimmune reactive avoidance may find summer challenging due to heightened sensory sensitivities and overwhelming experiences. Simplifying summer plans and focusing on familiar routines can help support their nervous system. Reducing social demands and avoiding overscheduling can prevent stress and exhaustion for both children and families. Providing quiet spaces and sensory tools is crucial for creating an environment where children feel safe. Staying home when necessary can be a loving choice for families, allowing them to prioritize the well-being of the child over typical summer activities.
Low-demand, familiar routines help children with neuroimmune reactive avoidance feel safer during summer by providing predictable daily structure, which supports nervous system regulation.
It's acceptable to stay home during the summer months when supporting a child in distress, as doing less can be the most loving choice to avoid overwhelm.
